Rilievo shawl

**DESCRIPTION** This triangular shawl draws inspiration from the architectural surfaces and classical art. Its name, Rilievo, honours the Italian tradition of sculptural forms that rise subtly from stone, reflected through a pattern of soft, structured rectangles. The scarf is worked seamlessly, back and forth, starting from one end and continuing across the whole width, towards the other end. Increases are made on every right-side row until the midpoint, then they are substituted with decreases on every right-side row to shape the second half of the shawl. **SIZING/ FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Sizes: one size Width: 32.5 cm/ 13" Length: 86.5 cm/ 34.5" **YARN** milky sample: 1 skein of Pure & Simple Wool Mini by Lanivendole (100% wool, 100 g/ 3.53 oz = approx. 400 m/ 437 yds) in the colourway Latte, red sample: 1 skein of Le Petit Lambswool Biches & Bûches (100% lambswool, 50 g/ 1.76 oz = approx. 248 m/ 270 yds) in the colourway Medium Red (1 skein is enough, but you may need to unravel your gauge swatch), or approx. 260m/ 280 yds of fingering weight yarn (given consumption includes the amount for the swatch and approx. a 7% reserve) **NEEDLES** 3.5 mm (US4) circular needles 40–60 cm/ 16–24". **GAUGE** 22 sts and 37 rows = 10 cm/ 4" in pattern (chart 0) on 3.5 mm (US4) needles, after blocking. **NOTIONS** 2 stitch markers, a tapestry needle, scissors. **TECHNIQUES** Basic knitted BO, decreases (k2tog, ssk), increases (m1l, m1lp, m1r), knitting flat, long-tail CO, reading charts.
